My parents were in the same boat. They tried satelite but the latency was so high it was hard to use. They switched to 3g and are happy now, but they don't use much internet. The biggest issue with 3g is the download limits, at least in Canada. If the limit is fine I'd go with 3g.

You can pick which updates to install, do them one at a time. When you find the one that's messing you up, remove it. When it shows up again you should have the option "don't ask about this update again." Or you can do some googling and find out why it's messing up your PC. I'd start with the malicous software tool…

I can't see your picture since work blocks a lot of image sites. Is it your cable or your female connection on the speaker that is bad. Putting a new RCA jack on a cable is easy, you can get them cheap I'd assume from an electronics store. If it's the speaker, your best bet is to open it up and see if you can see…

If you care about getting ROMs don't get the LG. If you can afford it, get the nexus. If not, get an SGS2, but be careful because I am fairly sure there are multiple varients. People who make the ROMs like phones and upgrade often. If you don't have the phone, why make a ROM for it? Both samsungs will be supported for…

Are you on the front or back of the system? It is possible the headphone jack on the front is gettign more noise than the speaker jack on the back since it is probably not directly on the board like the rear. Obviously it might be hard to reach but it's worth a shot. If you would get strange looks with speakers, would…

If you bought them at different times, yes the bootloader could have been updated. I think the HTC Desire (my phone) has had 6 different bootloaders so far.

That's strange. 1st, I would try and install something free that needs/wants SU access. I have Handcent SMS, it has a notification option that can ask for root. ES File explorer also is free I think and it will ask for root. If these can't you obviously didn't get rooted properly.

On top of what everyone else is saying, if you plan to spend much time outside ( >15-30mins), invest in a good pair of winter boots, gloves and hat. You can layer pants and shirts, but those areas, especially hands and feet are really hard to warm back up once they get cold. Lots of people have a pair of shoes to wear…

It is possible TB got revoked SU permissions accidently. If you see the SU app, open it, and you should be ale to toggle the permissions for all your apps. Its a little android figure on my version which I belive is the latest but not sure.

Study the stuff you don't know. If you have sample questions focus on the ones you totally don't get. More importantly, remind yourself that the better rested you are, the better you can think. Lay off the coffee, take breaks as you need them, don't be afraid to nap. My sleep shedule went to hell during exams, I…

My wife and I want a pet, but I don't want a cat, and I won't get a dog while we live in an appartment. She loves turtles, so I figure that's a good pet. I will be buying it this weekend, she gets home on Sunday so it will be a good surprise.

Dude, do you smoke weed? If you do, you need to smoke some better shit and chill(or check that it's not laced with yayo.) If you don't, don't bother getting offended for stoners, we laugh at ourselves all the time.

This is more like big pharma saying "It's not our fault the best decongestant can be used to make Meth"

How can anyone think about reducing the number of hours worked by truckers in a failing economy? Everything bought, sold or assemebled goes on a truck at some point, and most of those are subject to the hours of work rules. All the rule changes will do is bring in more in logbook fines.

Spoilers. A friend payed extra for the little spoiler on the back of his cobalt. He bought it off the lot, didn't spec it himself, but I would have refused to pay $275 for such a useless piece of plastic.

The advantage of FWD is if you lose traction while on the gas, your car is going to slowly drift to one side, or understeer more(turn less). If your in a RWD car, there is a good chance you will spin the car, or get it quite sideways.

@Rtarara, I wish people like you would take the train, leaving roads for people who want to drive, and trucks that need to get places. If your afraid behind the wheel, your more dangerous than if your calmly reacting to what is happening around you. Most truck drivers are excellent at their job, being scared of them…

Make sure you use the right roms and rooting software. Most desires are GSM, and most ROMS are made for them, though the bigger ones are now mostly available for both. I use Oxygen right now, it's super light and fast, though I think I will go back to CM7 once I get my phone S-OFF and adjust the internal memory…

Canadian Tire is the worst store in Canada right now. It has tried to be like WalMart, with groceries and all kinds of other crap. It has tried to be like Bass Pro Shops with a huge aquarium in it. Apparently now they are trying to be like Shoppers Drug Mart and Mr Lube. Their auto service ranges from acceptable to…

You will never be able to take your pictures off with a thumb drive. Microsoft has system locked down, T10 have said they will never be able to get that to work. The do offer bigger resolution pics now though. [forzamotorsport.net]
